Type 45 Destroyer Model 1750mm Long

A blend of old and new technologies ...
Commisioned as a centrepiece for the DSEI show to illustrate MNL’s in-house capabilities. The data for the model was captured from a 1:350 scale model. The hull and helicopter were laser scanned and the subsequent data scaled up and 3D-printed via
stereolithography [SLA]. The rest of the model was
manufactured via traditional modelling methods.

1750mm long 1:87.5 scale model.

Faithful reproduction.

Intricate detail maintaining accuracy.

This magnificent model is a true testiment to the
capabilities of Malcolm Nicholls Limited.
